Taking vitamin d as … Taking vitamin d as a supplement doesn’t seem natural per se, even though it’s a natural substance. If you think about it, getting vitamin d from sunshine is the most natural, but for people living in northern climates, they seem to get their vitamin d from animal liver and/or fish.
What do you mean by … What do you mean by spasticity? I didn’t know that was related? MY D was 13 ml a month ago, at the same time I was having dizzy/fainting spells and spastic effect in my lelft leg when I walked. I am now on 2,000 ml D a day, and the other symptoms are gone. Is that related?
ok my blood level … ok my blood level was 202ng/ml!!!Doc wants me to cut back. I cut down to 20,000iu per day and spasticity has increased urination has increased, much more fatigue.. I don’t know what to do, I feel soooo much better on the 50,000iu of d3 but i do not want to fry my kidneys,. Any suggestions?
I have ms and have … I have ms and have been taking 50,000iu of d3 a day for 3 months now. MY level was 21ng/ml in sept and that was after floating around my pool all summer. I can only imagine how low it gets by march or so. Anyways I feel sooooooooo much better and am starting to move better. if my house was burning down this d3 bottle is the one thing I would grab before going out.
I only found out … I only found out last week I have a severe Vit D deficiency. I had no idea I had it. A Dr I had never seen before picked it up through a blood test.
He prescribed 500000IU supplement a week.

MS Symptom Free for over one month! Dr. Roos Of O’Fallon. MO….Thank You! I owe my MS symptom Free Life to You!
Absolutely spot-on! … Absolutely spot-on! I had unstable blood pressure, landing me in the ER on several occasions w/paramedics fearing I’d stroke. I thankfully found a doctor who KNEW about Vit D deficiency, ran my levels and mine was 4! Within 8 weeks on Carlson’s Lemon -Flavored Cod Liver Oil & balanced Cal/Mag, my level was 35 and NO MORE blood pressure issues UNLESS I allow my levels to fall from not keeping my Vitamin D levels up. Personally, I feel the Carlson’s to have NO flavor and I take it at bedtime.
